I grew up at the end of a long dirt road No street lights, just a couple trees You could probably see the wallabies Bounding around in their brown fur coats Most days I'm the whole way home, jiggling my step Nothing but the air in my lungs, feeling my breath Singing my songs, road in my head And every now and then when I look up at the sky I can see a kookaburra fly, I think it's a daydream Think about my wingspan, chase the sun around the globes Everywhere I go, it's the summertime Wonder why people get stuck in the same place Got me thinking about what they say I *** it, take it by the humble pie Don't you worry about what they think I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night You grew up in the land of the red dirt Where the yellow sand meets the fresh surf Where the black history can respect earth But the politicians only think about its network From East Sydney to West Perth Top end and the Cape Bay You put the legwork in, but you get burnt out That's why you sink piss every payday Hey, have you ever gone away? Do you ever think about a holiday? Are you in the business of making money? If you haven't got a dollar, then I guess you gotta wait Wait, maybe we can win the lottery Get high by the beach, a line of Delray Maybe you can follow my lead You can fly like a kite in the breezy I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night Everywhere I go I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night Everywhere I go I met a lover down by the river She said, hey mister, it's nice to meet you Can I hold you, hold you tighter? I took a seatbelt, she said, please don't eat you You can move on by yourself, so I kissed you Can I take you, take you higher? Now I gave to the needle a time I didn't even get a reason to smile I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night I'm gonna take you for a ride on a beach at night Everywhere I go Everywhere I go
